Ok, let me start with.. 1st... when I receive an email (or a message through 360)... please don't be offended if I don't reply right away.
1. Yahoo is experiencing difficulties (which I don't mind, because I realize no site will ever be 100% free of glitches... wish everyone would remember that, before they criticize!!) & I may not have received it yet.
2. I may just be not able to get to the computer for a while, because hubby is using it... or I'm cleaning (which I should be doing now, instead of ranting to you!)... or... well, many things! Just know I will eventually reply... if it's something to reply to!!
3. I'm not one who likes to fwd emails to others just because it says so in the email... & especially if it says something like: send this or "else"... I think it should be up to the receiver if they want to fwd to their friends or not.
4. With that said, if I do fwd you something, it's because I thought it was cute, interesting or important enough to share! & Most times I'll modify the email & take out the "request" to fwd it to others & replace it with a note of my own. And I try to make it look like it's not a fwd!! Sometimes that's hard!!
Ok, does that make sense? I hope so, because I'm moving on to my next rant...
This has to deal with all the "troll talk" & other problems going on it Yahoo Answers!!
I really enjoy Yahoo Answers... but I am tired of people telling me I need to be on "troll patrol"!! Though I think it's necessary... I don't want to be a part of it... So, if you ask me... please don't be offended if I turn you down, or I just don't reply to it.
Along the same lines... I wish there IS something we can do to get the word out... TO STOP with the TROLLING... because I'm afraid these people are going to "ruin it" for the rest of us. I have this feeling Yahoo is going to shut Y/A down without notice!! I really don't want that to happen... because I enjoy it! & I use it for serious questions ... not just Nascar or Polls & Surveys!!
With ALL that said... Now you have been given a glimpse into my thought about "Think Before You Flame!!"
Now, on a totally different subject... I was reading **ER**'s blog the other day & she brought up something very interesting... Kids & cell phones. (Please click on her name & read what she has to say...) Because, my opinion on this matter will make more sense if you read her posting 1st. (You don't have to... just a suggestion!)
She really peaked my interest by giving it the title "Fred Savage didn't have one!" ... that there gets me to thinking!!! Because there is SO MUCH that kids have now a days that wasn't even thought of back in our days in school!!
It's no wonder so many kids are failing school!
I say this with a humble heart... because my son failed 2 grades... 8th grade, not sure why... 10th grade (last year) because he missed so much school from being in trouble! So, now he's going to be 18 in less than 3 weeks & is only in the 10th grade! (If you're a regular reader of my blog... you'll know what this is about! If not, please email me & I'll be happy to share with you, what's going on... or send you a link to past blogs.)
Anyway, kids are acting just like kids in saying "But everyone else... (fill in the blank.)"... & in **ER**'s blog, she mention her son is trying to get her to buy him a cell phone.
& She wants to know what everyone thinks... (Her blogs are AWESOME! If you have the time... take a look at her past entries! If you enjoy my postings... you'll really enjoy hers!!!) 
My opinion, it depends on the child. If you think they are responsible enough!! My son is not!!!
I know that my mom will not (nor will I!) get Mike (my son) a cell phone! (He maybe turning 18 soon... but he acts like he's turning 8 & a very immature one at that... Same goes with a driver's license!! Again, if you don't know why I mentioned my mom... please email me or read past blogs.)
To get back to my point... I feel this generation of children, have it WAY TO EASY!! They think others should do "it" (whatever) for them... or they will report the adult for mistreating them! Which in today's society... could be for the smallest thing!!
Now, don't get me wrong... I know there are some GREAT kids out there & I hope that it is them who will be leading our future! It's just I am afraid for those who think slacking of is the way to go.
What is is going to take to wake these ones up?? What are they going to do when they have to take care of themselves... & don't know how, because they didn't care enough to pay attention when someone was teaching them!! (Ok, yes, I am a bit biased on this opinion, because of how my son is... however, I see a lot of kids around & hear a lot about it on the news or here online that many are just like Mike!!)
It seems bad enough that I am worried about the future of out country... & world!! To be honest... I really wonder what God thinks of how we are treating his beautiful creations??? & It scares me to think that the world was worse than this in Noah & the Ark time!!
Which reminds me... I have something funny to share... & when I can find it again, I'll post it. (She hopes she can find it on line, so she can copy & paste... & doesn't have to type it all out herself!!!)
Yikes! I guess I really did get up on the "Soap Box"!! So, guess what
... I'm going to step down now & let someone else step up! So, if you want to voice your opinion... leave a comment and / or a link to your blog with your opinions! 
(One more little rant... I really need a new computer because the "slowing down" issue while I'm typing a long blog seems to be my computer!! .... and it needs to be a laptop so that I can take it with me!! So when my creative mind gets to working... I can type it, instead of writing... because if I write fast, I can't even read it at times!! LOL!!)
Hope no one has commented yet... because I forgot my poll... Here ya go... If you want to be anonymous of your opinion about my opinion... here's a way to do so... vote! No one, including me knows how you vote... unless you want to!!
